  • Maybe I have just had back luck but syncing my files across all of my devices has always burned me at some point. No matter what software I have used I have overwritten something by accident or I try and delete something and it doesnt get deleted on all device. Or get a bunch of conflicting files and now i need to figure out what file I want etc…

    I do use some syncing but it is mostly between only two devices. Often times it is only a 1 way sync. For example photos on my phone get synced to my NAS automatically.

    For me keeping all of my files in one place is the way to go. I just have everything on a NAS. (TrueNAS) All of my devices connect to that and i just edit them directly over the network.

    I have a VPN for remote access.


  • Why not?

    If i am going to be supporting creators I think YT premium would be the way I would do it.

    YouTube Premium is super helpful in distributing money automatically to creators without needing to think about it.

    I have many many creators I tune in and out of I am not going to be trying to manage all of their patreons and trying to manage all of that.

    Honestly I have to much crap already, 99% of merch is just garbage IMO that i will never use and don’t need.




  • I have upgraded my GPU on my desktop without upgrading anything else. Leaving me with a spare GPU and no other hardware.

    Self hosting, I have also pulled GPUs out of systems to keep the power requirements down. As most of the time onboard GPUs are just fine for Self hosting applications. Also leaving me with a spare GPU.

    However over the years GPUs have because more popular for processing there are more arguments to keep the GPU in a home server. So I can see how this is going away.








  • Realistically I don’t see how it would ever not be managed by a corporation. Your average person doesn’t know how and doesn’t want to manage their own messaging system. They are just going to offload that responsibility to a corporation to do it for them. We are just going to have exactly the same system we have now. Just called some else besides email.

    I wish there was a better solution but I am not seeing a way that doesn’t just end up the same as email.
